Body of missing man found near Lake San Marcos

SAN MARCOS  The body of a 53-year-old man who had been missing since Monday was found Thursday on a hiking trail in the Lake San Marcos area, sheriff’s officials said.

Marcos Anthony Stahlheber had left his doctor’s office in the Lake San Marcos area around 3 p.m. Monday and had not been seen since. Officials said Stahlheber suffered from a mental disorder, was diabetic and didn’t have any medication with him and was depressed because his mother had recently passed away.

His body was found about 10:45 a.m. Thursday and no foul play was suspected, said sheriff’s Detective Kerrie Leek.

The county Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the cause of death.
